Mutations in the nonstructural protein 5A gene and response to interferon therapy in young patients with chronic hepatitis C virus 1b infection.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of response to IFN therapy in children and adolescents with chronic HCV-1b infection. Sixteen children (M/F ratio = 11:5;...
